Anyone else getting tired of seeing the bags of leaves and tree limbs on the curb? Yeah I saw the story on the news the other night, it's a weather problem. Whatever, the weather has been fine on trash days for 2 weeks in my area. Unless that is, they can't pick up in the cold.  Mine have been sitting here for 3 weeks. The trash guys drove past me as I put them on the curb, picked them up at the other end of my street.. I have complained to the city...What a joke that is. Anyone have an idea or solution?

I'm not seeing a problem in my area.  The trash on my street is always gone within a week or so.  Start calling MLGW sooner.  Record the date and names of people you talk to.  Work your way up the chain up the chain of command.  Hopefully, you won't end up speaking to someone like Joseph Lee.

I was wondering the same thing about my Christmas tree.  It has been sitting at the curb since January 1st.  Did I miss the tree pick-up?

It takes the city a while to collect the volume of bagged leaves people put out trying to clean up their yard.  I have seen 50+ bags on the curb at one house.

I have friends that live in areas where they are only allowed to put a certain amount on the curb at a time.  I dont think that is a bad idea.
